After recently moving to Colorado from Oregon, I discovered that my belt-drive
turntable was playing records at a much slower speed.  The problem turned out
to be that the rubber belt expanded because I now keep my apartment at 60 
degrees rather than my usual 68; Colorado is colder and less humid so it feels
about tha same.  Is there a replacement belt that I could buy that would not
be so subject to temperature fluctuations?  Is not, how come temperature 
stability is not a spec for belt-driven turntables?
